Kevin McWha Steele - Virginia Reel lyrics

You're a teacher for the holy fool Sleeping on your bed of rusty nails You practice the pain like it's a sacred tool And then you tie your ankles to the rails You say you're waiting for that train to run you through And take you clear on up to the sky Say you've taught me all you could and couldn't do And now it's time for us to say goodbye The cicadas wait outside your door With Pericles dressed in red Says he'd rather see you try to live Instead of playing at being dead Just look at all the arabesques that you have born You're Martha Graham's favorite part We can laugh it off and dance until we're torn But, not until you decide to start Chorus: Virginia Reel, so good to feel The Virginia Reel, as we do the peel, Virginia Reel I'll be your Grays Harbor, if you're my devilfish for a year But you're on the wrong side of the states So come back home and please let go of all that fear Up that country road through the gates I know you so well that my heart begins to burn Every time I think about your smile Move with me now as we go into the turn Remember how it feels to step with style Chorus: Virginia Reel, so good to feel The Virginia Reel, as we do the peel, Virginia Reel I know you so well that my heart begins to burn Every time I think about your smile Move with me now as we go into the turn Remember how it feels to step with style Chorus: The Virginia Reel, so good to feel The Virginia Reel, as we do the peel, Virginia Reel
